Greetings, I hope 2015 is off to a good start for all of you. Today is the second song release week for this year; in the first week we started off the new year with goats and werewolves. This week we’ve got 200 BPM leaves with polka for a day’s end.

Also remember that the 2014 Annual Forum Awards along with TWG Awards are still ongoing! Votes will be accepted up to 11:59 PM server time on February 1st, and as always make sure you read the rules before submitting your votes.

Don’t forget that the forum awards are now up. Please make sure you read the rules before submitting your votes. There have been a few that have come in that had to be rejected because they did not follow the rules for voting. Make sure your votes count and read the OP first. You can find all the details about the awards and voting Here

I know a lot of you have been noticing that FFR has been having a 500 internal server error fairly frequently starting late night into the morning. I want to assure you guys that it is being worked on. I’ve spoken with Synthlight and he said that he will have it resolved in the next few days. I know it stinks to deal with and I apologize for the inconvenience, but hang in there and rest assured that it is being worked on.

Hey guys, tonight we had our special drawing for those who participated all 12 days of our AAAdvent event. We gave away 6 $25 Amazon gift cards, a $50 Amazon gift card, a $75 Amazon gift card, and as a bonus we rolled for 8 more tokens. Here are your results:

Over the course of 12 days we gave out 4,916,000 Credits to 149 different participants, 85 of which submitted all 12 days! There were 1449 submissions to the event, 30 of them getting a token unlock response over the course of the event!

I also want to take the time to give a huge thank you to everyone that made this event possible. The difficulty consultants stepped up to help me last minute on a lot of these files that went out. Xiz also worked on the fly to get those awesome videos you guys saw each day of the event. arcnmx for putting up the videos and helping out with the token for a. Dossar helped with file sync and fixes on the fly as well. bmah took the time out to step some actual Christmassy sounding stuff to top off the event. Then the events team, they really worked their butts off for this. All the thanks go to them for coming up with the AAAdvent event and putting together all those scriptures you got daily. Foxfire and Rushy did a huge bulk of the updating as PMs came in; I can’t imagine how it would’ve been otherwise. I also have to give a big thanks to Halogen who took a lot of time out to help me as well when I needed it, even though he stepped down from doing events and game management. It was really a huge collaborative effort and it went super well. I hope everyone enjoyed the event.

What’s Happenin’

Going to start off with a reminder that right now there is a credit multiplier earning you 2x the credits when playing. This will be on until New Years, so make sure to take advantage of it.

For those of you who are not aware: the drawing for the special prizes to be handed out in the FFR AAAdvent Calendar will take place sometime between 5 PM and 6 PM eastern standard time (that’s 4 PM to 5 PM server time). Those who participated in the entire FFR AAAdvent Calendar event are eligible for this random drawing — if you fall in this group of people, watch this livestream to see if you are one of the lucky winners!

Day 12 already, went by fast didn’t it? Today is your final day of FFRmas and there’s 4 more files for you today. It’s also your last day to score prizes from the AAAdvent calendar, so make sure you send in that PM. I will do the drawing for the special prizes that the people who participated all 12 days have a shot at likely the day after Christmas. I want to do a live stream of the drawing and I don’t want to cut into anyone’s holiday activities.
